Résumé

This study traces the story of labour in India from the 18th century to the present day, assessing the degrees of continuity with past practice, and asking whether modern assumptions about work - its separation from other aspects of daily life; its "class" implications - have been reflected in the Indian experience. The essays propose a number of general points on how ideological and religious fervour accompanies economic change, and challenge entrenched social conditions and attitudes.
